Identification and characterization of alpha 3 beta 1 integrin on primary and transformed rat islet cells

Abstract

Dispersed rat islet cells embedded in a matrix of collagen I are known to form aggregates in vitro reminiscent of native islets. Furthermore, it appears that islet function and survival are better maintained in vitro when cells are grown in the presence of extracellular matrix. These studies suggest an important role of cell--matrix interactions in the formation and maintenance of islet structure and function. The molecular basis of these interactions is mostly unknown. In the present study, we confirm the presence of beta 1 integrins on primary and transformed (RIN-2A line) rat islet cells. Perturbation studies in vitro show that beta 1 integrins play a role in islet cell attachment and spreading on bovine extracellular matrix and on the matrix produced by A-431 cells. The alpha 3 integrin subunit is coimmunoprecipitated with beta 1 from extracts of both primary and transformed islet cells, and immunodepletion studies suggest that alpha 3 beta 1 represents nearly half of the total beta 1 integrins expressed on primary islet cells. In situ, alpha 3 and beta 1 are expressed on the surface of all islet cell types, as shown by indirect immunocytochemistry on paraformaldehyde-fixed sections of rat pancreas. In conclusion, the study...Continue Reading

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function. Discover the latest research on adhesion molecule and their role in health and disease here.
